The Nerazzurri lifted the trophy at the Stadio Olimpico, Lazio’s home ground, after an early own goal and a Lautaro Martínez tap-in effectively killed the contest inside 35 minutes. Yet the path to this triumph was anything but straightforward for a side that, just 12 months earlier, had chased a quadruple and ended empty-handed.\n\nThe match itself was a mismatch in every sense. Inter seized control when Adam Marusic inadvertently headed Federico Dimarco’s corner into his own net after just 14 minutes. Then Denzel Dumfries, back to his bustling best after a three-month injury layoff earlier in the campaign, pounced on Nuno Tavares’ defensive lapse and squared for Martínez to score from close range. Lazio offered little in response: Gustav Isaksen and Tijjani Noslin both fired half-chances wide, while substitute Boulaye Dia saw a late effort deflected into goalkeeper Josep Martínez’s face. The final whistle confirmed what the league table already screamed – Inter were Italy’s dominant force, with 85 goals scored compared to Lazio’s 39 in 36 Serie A games.\n\nChivu’s journey to this double began in the wreckage of the previous season. When he replaced Simone Inzaghi, the squad was fractured, exhausted, and licking wounds from a Club World Cup elimination by Fluminense. A pivotal meeting last June saw the players clear the air after Lautaro Martínez had publicly criticized teammates who left the US camp early for injury treatment. “We laid things out clearly to one another that day,” Chivu recalled. “I found a group of lads who were ready to put themselves at the team’s disposal.” That honesty became the foundation for a campaign in which every squad member earned what Chivu called a “dieci e lode” rating – 10 out of 10 with honours, a nod to Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci’s perfect Olympic score 50 years ago.\n\nThe coach’s emotional restraint was evident after the Scudetto was sealed, when he ceded the spotlight to his staff at the post-match press conference and retreated to the changing rooms for a cigarette. He later explained that confronting a life-threatening skull fracture during his playing days had stripped away his ego. Even in victory on Wednesday, his thoughts drifted to his children being upset by negative press during a rocky start to the season. Such humility masks a fierce determination: Chivu joined Roberto Mancini and José Mourinho as the only Inter managers to win a domestic double, and he did it in his debut season – something neither of his predecessors achieved.\n\nLazio’s dysfunction provided a stark contrast. Maurizio Sarri returned to the club in the summer only to discover, after signing a three-year deal, that a transfer embargo was in place – a fact owner Claudio Lotito had conveniently withheld. The Biancocelesti were forced to sell key veterans Taty Castellanos and Mateo Guéndouzi in January to fund any arrivals. That window brought the promising 23-year-old Kenneth Taylor from Ajax, but the squad remained ill-equipped to challenge Inter’s machine. Sporting director Angelo Fabiani admitted before kick-off, “We didn’t expect to reach this final, to tell the truth,” a confession that underscored the gulf in resource and ambition.\n\nInter’s superiority was built on intelligent recruitment and individual brilliance. Despite injuries limiting him to just 25 league starts, Martínez still topped the Serie A scoring charts with 17 goals. Marcus Thuram, whose relentless pressure forced the opener, shared second place with 13. Dimarco’s 18 assists made him a strong MVP contender, while Dumfries’ explosive return from a three-month absence added yet another weapon. Collectively, they exemplified the long-term planning that has turned Inter into an unassailable domestic force, vindicating a strategy that withstood last year’s quadruple near-miss.\n\nChivu’s own path mirrors the club’s patient approach. Before his senior debut at Parma, he spent six years coaching various Inter youth teams. “I started from the bottom, and I learned a thousand things that have served me along the way,” he said. “Winning two trophies is never something to take for granted. It’s never simple.” That truth resonated even on a night when Inter reduced a final to a foregone conclusion, proof that the double was earned through months of careful planning and emotional repair, not merely inherited through talent.\n\nBased on reporting from The Guardian.","news","Inter's 2-0 Coppa Italia final win over Lazio sealed a domestic double, but Cristian Chivu's first season in charge was no procession despite the gulf in class.","330357675038609409","326135624706822144","Serie A","0","2026-05-14T12:15:55Z","inter-s-double-never-a-given-what-chivu-s-coppa-win-means","The Guardian","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theguardian.com\u002Ffootball\u002F2026\u002Fmay\u002F14\u002Finter-double-coppa-italia-final-mismatch-lazio-cristian-chivu","326257539769438208","Inter",[74,77,78,79,80,81,82,83],"326257544160874496","326257539542945792","326257700071542784","326257539261927424","326257539844935680","326257661500723200","326257563052019712",[75,85,86,87,88,89,90,91],"Fluminense","Juventus","Olympic","Lazio","Parma","Italy","Ajax","Inter's Double Never a Given: What Chivu's Coppa Win Means",[94,128,143,168],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":64,"excerpt":95,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":96,"leagueId":67,"leagueName":68,"matchId":69,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":97,"slug":98,"sourceName":99,"sourceURL":100,"teamId":74,"teamName":75,"teamIds":101,"teamNames":114,"title":127},"Gasperini confirms Mancini will stay at Roma despite Inter links and addresses Dybala's contract situation as the club prepares for Champions League.","338067904341741569","2026-06-04T19:18:08Z","gasperini-on-dybala-mancini-what-roma-s-future-holds","Tuttosport","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.tuttosport.com\u002Fnews\u002Fcalcio\u002Fserie-a\u002Froma\u002F2026\u002F06\u002F04-149034088\u002Fgasperini_un_periodo_dove_si_parla_tanto_dybala_le_notizie_vengono_fuori_improvvisamente_\u002F",[74,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,78,109,110,111,112,82,113],"326222712592666624","326222713054040064","326255039171530752","326255041188990976","326255041851691008","326257541291970560","326257546220277760","326257686389723136","326257769613103104","326257539425505280","326257695210344448","326222707169431552",[75,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,86,122,123,124,125,90,126],"Congo DR","Haiti","Dinamo Minsk","FK Sarajevo","Cherno More Varna","Trabzonspor","Chelsea","Together","Capital","Napoli","Signal","Anderlecht","Gasperini on Dybala & Mancini: What Roma's Future Holds",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":64,"excerpt":129,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":130,"leagueId":67,"leagueName":68,"matchId":69,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":131,"slug":132,"sourceName":99,"sourceURL":133,"teamId":74,"teamName":75,"teamIds":134,"teamNames":138,"title":142},"Federico Dimarco won Serie A MVP with a record 18 assists, leading Inter to a Scudetto and two trophies under Chivu while Italy missed World Cup.","338054914762608641","2026-06-04T18:22:42Z","dimarco-leads-inter-to-scudetto-18-assists-mvp","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.tuttosport.com\u002Fnews\u002Fcalcio\u002Fserie-a\u002Finter\u002F2026\u002F06\u002F04-149033362\u002Fdimarco_c_solo_inter_anno_incredibile_due_trofei_con_chivu\u002F",[74,82,102,103,104,106,108,135,136,109,113,137],"326257554193649664","326257590377910272","326222713142120448",[75,90,115,116,117,119,121,139,140,122,126,141],"Perth Glory","Minnesota United FC","Canada","Dimarco Leads Inter to Scudetto: 18 Assists, MVP",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":64,"excerpt":144,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":145,"leagueId":67,"leagueName":68,"matchId":69,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":146,"slug":147,"sourceName":99,"sourceURL":148,"teamId":78,"teamName":86,"teamIds":149,"teamNames":158,"title":167},"Juventus target Kolo Muani, valued at €25-30m by PSG, faces Galatasaray competition after Vlahovic exit.
